Greetings, friends of Roscoe
Elliott,
It is with a heavy heart that the family of R.G.
"Roscoe" Elliott bears the news of his passing on the afternoon of December 5,
2016. He had been in the hospital for just a few days with relatively minor
issues, when things quickly became more serious, with no practical remedy. He
died peacefully surrounded by his family.
It is an awkward situation trying to notify all of his
email friends in a timely fashion, and we deeply apologize if this message has
reached you in error. Unfortunately, his email contact list doesn't distinguish
between good friends and possible bill collectors. One of the highlights of his
day was reading emails from his friends.
We will have a small funeral on Thursday, the 8th, at
12:30 p.m. at Bluebonnet Hills Funeral Home, 5725 Colleyville Boulevard, in
Colleyville, TX. Any who wish to attend are welcome.
Sincerely,
Louise Elliott
Barbie Adair and Donna Mowdy,
daughters
